Explosive atmospheres
When in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere or where
flammable materials exist, the product should be turned off and the user
should obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an
explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Users are advised not to use the equipment at refueling points such as
service or gas stations, and are reminded of the need to observe restrictions
on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, chemical plants, or where
blasting operations are in progress. Areas with a potentially explosive
atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. These include fueling
areas, below deck on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities,
and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain,
dust, or metal powders.
Road safety
Full attention must be given to driving at all times in order to reduce the
risk of an accident. Using a phone while driving (even with a hands free kit)
causes distraction and can lead to an accident. You must comply with local
laws and regulations restricting the use of wireless devices while driving.
Safety precautions for RF exposure
Avoid using your phone near metal structures (for example, the steel
frame of a building).
Avoid using your phone near strong electromagnetic sources, such as
microwave ovens, sound speakers, TV and radio.
Use only original manufacturer-approved accessories, or accessories
that do not contain any metal.
Use of non-original manufacturer-approved accessories may violate your
local RF exposure guidelines and should be avoided.
Interference with medical equipment functions
This product may cause medical equipment to malfunction. The use of this
device is forbidden in most hospitals and medical clinics.
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer
of your device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external
RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this
information.
Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in
these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be
using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
Nonionizing radiation
Your device has an internal antenna. This product should be operated in its
normal-use position to ensure the radiative performance and safety of the
interference. As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are
advised that for satisfactory operation of the equipment and for the safety of
personnel, it is recommended that no part of the human body be allowed to
come too close to the antenna during operation of the equipment.
Use only the supplied integral antenna. Use of unauthorized or modified
antennas may impair call quality and damage the phone, causing loss of
performance and SAR levels exceeding the recommended limits as well as
result in non-compliance with local regulatory requirements in your country.
To assure optimal phone performance and ensure human exposure to RF
energy is within the guidelines set forth in the relevant standards, always
use your device only in its normal-use position. Contact with the antenna
area may impair call quality and cause your device to operate at a higher
power level than needed. Avoiding contact with the antenna area when the
phone is IN USE optimizes the antenna performance and the battery life.
